I know of a Principal that when he goes through walkthroughs he brings  a teacher on their planning period with him.

It is a neat way to connect to teachers and can provide excellent inspiration and growth in your own classroom.  I only wish that schools encouraged, and provided more time to do this on a regular basis.  Who better to learn from than each other?
